The One Identity Manager Operational Guide provides an overview of the tasks and features that will be of assistance to you during normal operation of One Identity Manager.
The guide explains how to analyze and monitor changes to data in the Manager. It describes how you schedule activation times for operations. Basic tasks in One Identity Manager, such as editing schedules and mail templates as well as creating password policies, are explained. The guide also describes simple procedures that are used to export and import application data.
It explains how to declare changes to the configuration in the system, how to check data consistency and how to exchange custom changes between the development database, test database, and production database.
This guide is intended for end users, system administrators, consultants, analysts, and any other IT professionals using the product.
NOTE: This guide describes One Identity Manager functionality available to the default user. It is possible that not all the functions described here are available to you. This depends on your system configuration and permissions.
This guide does not describe the Operations Support Web Portal. For information about this, see the One Identity Manager Operations Support Web Portal User Guide.
Available documentation
You can access One Identity Manager documentation in the Manager and in the Designer by selecting the Help > Search menu item. The online version of One Identity Manager documentation is available in the Support portal under Technical Documentation. You will find videos with additional information at www.YouTube.com/OneIdentity.
Using the simulation mode in the Manager, you can record and analyze the effects of comprehensive data changes to begin with before finally applying the changes.
The following information is recorded during the simulation:
-
Calculation tasks for the DBQueue Processor resulting from the change
-
Trigger changes that result from the change
-
Processes that are generated as a result of the change
-
Objects that are affected by the change
Detailed information about this topic
To use the simulation mode in the Manager, the following prerequisites apply:
-
A user with a minimum access level of Configuration user is required.
-
Users require the Common_Simulation program function.
-
To ensure that the users can export the simulation data, enable the Common | Simulation | ExportReport configuration parameter in the Designer.
|
|
CAUTION: You should only use the simulation mode in exceptional circumstances. During a simulation, the objects you are editing are locked for other users. Work on individual administration tools may be restricted. Under certain circumstances, the One Identity Manager Service stops running further processes during the simulation phase. Depending on the scope of the changes, the entire One Identity Manager environment can come to a standstill. |
To run a simulation in Manager:
-
In the Manager, select Database > Start simulation.
-
Confirm the security prompt with OK.
The program switches into simulation mode.
NOTE: The enable simulation mode is displayed in Manager by the symbol 
in the status bar and a red status bar displayed.
-
Make your desired changes.
-
To stop the simulation, click Database > Stop simulation in the Manager menu.
The program switches to standard working mode and shows the simulation log.
-
(Optional) After stopping the simulation, you can save the changes. In the Manager, select the Object > Save or Object > Specify activation time menu item.
NOTE: To prevent an excessively long blockade of the overall system, simulation mode ends after 5 minutes if no data change is saved.
